The former Raiders linebacker retired Monday for the second time at age 24, and this time it's for good, he said. Instead of joining the Ravens for the start of an offseason conditioning program, McClain told ESPN.com's Seth Wickersham, "I'm done." McClain added, "If football made me complete, I would play. But whenever I think of it, my heart pulls me away (for) whatever reason." McClain, the eighth overall pick in 2010, was released by Oakland last April after three arrests and an argument with head coach Dennis Allen. The Ravens had signed him to a one-year deal.

The former NFL DB-turned-Army Ranger who was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan a decade ago is worthy of induction into the Hall of Fame, says Cris Collinsworth. "I will never understand why Pat Tillman is not in the NFL Hall of Fame," Collinsworth tweeted Sunday. Sports Illustrated's Peter King, however, wrote, "Should all 26 NFL players who have died in service to our country ... be enshrined? I think football players and coaches and executives should be in the Hall ... for what they accomplish as football players and coaches and executives, and not for anything else."
